I am always on the look out for any tips on free boat plans. While having a look around I found this article that discusses some methods for boatbuilding.

Ever thought about building your own boat but have been frightened off by the thought that you may not have the time, the ability or money? The odds are that you are terrified of the dreaded process of lofting out the plans from the complicated pile of papers and drawings that you normally get when you buy a set of boat plans!

If so this article will be of interest to you. Here is some of what the article said …

“Have you heard about the Eazy-build method of boatbuilding? It is a series of innovative small craft that have been named The Dolphin Series. They are cheap, robust, simple to build, with minimal plans that importantly, do not involve lofting and have no frames at all! They are simply constructed with the stitch and glue methods.”

Blog posts about free boat plans – Boat Accessories

When recently looking for tips on free boat plans I was reminded about the importance of safety.

There are many different kinds of boating accessories to outfit a boat with whether it is to make it look better or perform better.

The most important boat accessories though are safety items which ensure safer voyages for everyone. Lifejackets are vital boating accessories to have even if you are not traveling far. No matter what happens on the water the chance of something going wrong and having to leave the boat is a possibility every person who steps on a boat should be prepared for.

Boating accessories such as lifejackets can be used whenever the passengers of the boat need to be in the water.

Even if you are an expert swimmer lifejackets are needed boating accessories considering you could be miles from shore or caught in a current carrying you away from land. It’s important to have different sizes of lifejackets for children and adults. Obviously an adult life jacket will not fit a child properly and this can be very dangerous should the child end up in the water.

Flares are important boating accessories to carry on a boat. You never know when something could go wrong with the boat and letting others know there is a problem by firing a flare will bring help. Even if there is nothing wrong with the boat there are many other possibilities when using a flare is useful.

Flares are boating accessories to be used when you need to signal somebody for any reason whatsoever. Along the lines of flares for boating accessories for safety, flare guns can also be used to send any signal of distress. Once the flare has been ignited, help will soon be on its way.

Sometimes boats are far away from anything and if something happens where you need help radios are important boating accessories to have. Radios can be life savers as they can call ports, other boats, or even the coast guard in case of an emergency.

Being able to communicate in any way with others is needed on a boat as many times the boat is far from any help. Radios can bring help regardless of how far away from land the boat is and for this reason they are important boating accessories for safety.

Boating can be an exciting and relaxing way to spend time on the water. Being in the open water, or even close to shore, many things can go wrong whether it be with the boat or with a person on the boat.

Preparing for the worst is the safest way to go and by using boating accessories for this purpose it will ensure all safety issues are covered.

Taking precautions and using safety boating accessories make the experience that much more enjoyable as it makes it safe as well.
